SHRIMP ARE FANTASTIC
I ALSO LIKE THEM A LOT
ASH SOUNDS AWESOME

I've no clue how many shrimp I have in my cherry tank, maybe around 100?
Theres so many hiding places in there XD

I'm sorry if I sound super stupid (Im laughing at my stupidity as I type this), but do shrimp swim? I want to put them in my 25 gallon 24x20x12 (LxHxW) and I would want to see them on more then just the bottom. Do they climb the driftwood? I envy your tanks!!

I apoligiz fore mie stoopiditee. <-- Had to type that :)

No worries, I didn't know much about shrimp activities until I got them X3

Yes, I have shrimp zoom around the tank all the time, though I think its because I have a ton of floating plants that they have to swim up to. I see them all the time hanging upside done, its pretty cute X)

Though I dont have anything in the tank that can really hunt down my shrimp so thats probably why they arent that shy.

Hey hey,
Has anybody used or know about using barley bales in a filtration system to control string (filament sp?) algae in aquarium housing/breeding shrimps. The system consistes of (10) 55's and (2)75 gal. sumps. Very good water turn over.at roughly three times and hour on most. Some are adjusted to a little less because of the number of newies and fry. The tanks also are used for blue-eyes, nanos, dwarf varieties that do not feed off of the fry and young as a rule. The barley is used to reduce fil. algae and water clarity but does it kill the benificial algae the the shrimp grase on?
Also have a variety of nerites and large snails.
Any advice is welcome. I use it in my pond and works there very well but it only holds koi.
